About This Event
Live electronic performance at Cargo at Dead Letter No. 9
About Vinyl Nights at Dead Letter No.9
Vinyl Nights at Dead Letter No. 9 runs at Cargo, the venue tucked inside the Dead Letter No. 9 complex, framing DJ culture as a live, on-site practice rather than background sound. The bill rotates through Kilopatrah Jones, DJ Shannon, Sunny Cheeba, Valentin Lamar, and Gazoo ToTheMoon, working in electronic forms where mixing and real-time decisions are the performance. No specific NYC premiere history is documented, but the series sits in a New York lineage of after-hours rooms that treat the booth like a stage. Its clearest strength is how it makes process audible.
